That is really my question... how do I try it out?  Other than running
Xsun24 to launch X, is there other configuration that needs to be done?
Under i386 there is a nifty graphical configuration utility (my experience
on i386 is with Fedora core, but I believe the same utility is available for
NetBSD i386 in pkgsrc), that does the dirty work and just "makes it work".

My best advice is to give it a try, I don't run X on my SparcStation
with the TCX framebuffer, but just test some stuff out, X will let you
know if something won't work ;)
